The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and Ifivate institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of Life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and p;nlic men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. TIE majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-,
parent reason, OF underso-called
depression Of SPIRITS" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, wh:cli is fruitful
source of i.lsaa:tY and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life OF
the nation. They assail the
springs Of is power and pros
perity. They wreck .ranhood's
strength and wounan's useful
ness and beauty
Every one Should know the
causes. What are tAey9 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pov.
crty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nut. zion. Healthy
digestion being ;mpeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
ont ito warninps.-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss ofaprotite and disgustwith
food; loss Of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; eructations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
fowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donmerf of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of .ShdI,er Ertract Of Roots
(Seigcl's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. 10 do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion Of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
system, and urifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Ertract(Seigel'sSyrup)
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone al, / strength through
it's wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
It is safe to say more nerv-
Gus dysperttics have been re-
stored by it from the depths
Of misery to a fres,'l enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other firms of treatment
combined. ...-
